Guide to this blog

The Blogroll is now in three parts. The main part is arranged according to the date the blog was last updated with the most recent first. Many blogs use the BDSMLR platform which does not include date information; they are in a separate Blogroll arranged alphabetically but I check from time to time and remove any that have been permanently closed. The final part is a list of interesting Twitter feeds - again in alphabetical order.

Venn diagrams and coincidence

Okay, this is going to sound weird (what's new) but bear with me. For some reason I found myself thinking about Venn Diagrams this morning - remember them from school maths? You draw circles where the area represents the size of a population and some parts of the circles overlap because some entities belong to more than one population. So if you draw a large circle representing how many people support Manchester United and another one representing how many people live in Manchester, there will be an overlap (quite a small one...) representing those Manchester United supporters who actually live in Manchester. You get the idea.

Well, I've no idea why this thought process came about but I was thinking about a Venn Diagram showing a circle representing spankos and another representing nudists and thinking that those who fell into the overlap (pun intended) area could have quite a difficult time. Now, anyone who isn't a spanko will just think I'm nuts, but I'm sure fellow spankos have these bizarre thoughts all the time (please, reassure me that it's not just me!).

Anyway, what was weird was this afternoon I came across a new website I hadn't looked at before and came across this picture of two people who clearly fit into that overlap category of my diagram...

Nothing like being stuck in one place...

...for twelve hours with nothing to do for starting a bit of creativity. I used to write a lot of spanking stories and as per usual I still have about eight or nine unfinished (or unstarted ideas). One I had an idea but just couldn't see how to make it work, another I was close to finishing but couldn't come up with an ending, another needed a twist to make it different to any others I've written or read. By the end of a very boring (otherwise) 12 hours they're all back on track. One question - do people still read spanking fiction? If so what's the most convenient form to publish? PDF files perhaps? Not sure how the security works with them - I know how to strip out personal details from Microsoft Word files but it's not a good distribution format but I'm not sure what might be buried in a PDF - anyone help?

Incidentally it's a good distraction from on-going health concerns.
